Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube
Chapter 1686 - 1150: A World That Does Not Belong to You
"Ahhhh——"
Accompanied by a scream that seemed to pierce the sky, the clan leader of the Wind Clan, who had been concealing their true identity, fell into the great chasm, the sound echoing within the cavity, growing more distant.
Reiger observed all this coldly, with no intention of stopping Alberon’s actions, like an outsider who had nothing to do with it.
"You are truly indifferent." Alberon was somewhat surprised by Reiger’s reaction, unsure whether to feel astonished or regretful, he said: "I thought you would at least try to stop it."
"No need." Reiger said indifferently: "Even if you didn’t do this, what’s inside would eventually come out; better let it come out sooner, rather than wasting time."
"Besides, you’re not wrong." Reiger smirked slightly, saying: "I do hate that woman."
"Haha!" Alberon laughed, as if nothing had ever changed, laughing joyously, while saying: "I knew I wasn’t wrong about you, Reiger, you and I, we loathe everything in this world from the bottom of our hearts!"
"You are wrong about that." Reiger calmly corrected: "I only detest faeries, the existence of this British Lostbelt is irrelevant to me, even if it’s filled with sins, I am no god of justice, so naturally, I have no reason to judge it."
"I want to destroy it solely because it stands in my way, in the way of taking away the person I care about."
"And you, are not like me, right?"
Reiger looked at Alberon with eyes that seemed to appraise another being rather than a human.
"As the very desire for destruction born from this cursed Britain itself, you naturally hold animosity and malice against this Britain."
"You have neither love for others nor for yourself, nor do you possess hatred or resentment; you simply want to extinguish this Britain as effortlessly as breathing."
"Your detestation is innate, fundamentally different from my disgust for faeries caused by their actions."
"Even if faeries weren’t so nauseating, prompting disgust, you would still loathe them, loathe everything in this world from the core, after all, this is your instinct."
Reiger shrugged, saying one sentence.
"So, don’t equate me with you, alright?"
Upon hearing this, Alberon was not angered, only showing a cold smile as if his thoughts were laid bare.
"You are right, indeed I cannot be compared to you."
"I am merely a worm surviving in the shadows, while you are the most unique human in my memory, there is no comparison between us."
"As you said, my aversion to this world is inborn."
Though Alberon bore a smile, the rawest aversion was apparent in his eyes.
"A history that should have long died continues so grotesquely for more than 10,000 years, it sickens me."
"Those faeries are the same, things that shouldn’t exist in this world, yet they pursue pleasure and happiness so conspicuously, it is even more repulsive."
"Even humans, who without any effort or toil, merely living can gain happiness, seem bothersome and disgusting."
"Everything and everyone in this world disgusts me."
"So, from the moment I came into being in this world, I had decided."
Alberon articulated as though narrating a simple fact devoid of any subjective influence, with unperturbed tranquility.
"One day, I shall annihilate you all."
"Whether it be all existences residing on this isle, or the remnants existing on this isle, everything must be obliterated."
Alberich Vortigern, the existential purpose of this being was to destroy everything in the world.
He is merely an insect born from the "vomit" of the abhorrence towards creatures inherently carried by the thing called "Britain".
If, in Altoria’s eyes, the world was a storm of malice, then in Alberon’s eyes, the world was nothing but a pile of excrement.
Were a person to constantly perceive such excrement everywhere, so large it could swallow the individual whole, would they not go insane, would they not wish to destroy the entire world?
Naturally, they would.
"And you? Reiger Brillhaut?"
Alberon glanced at Reiger, suddenly speaking a phrase.
"In your eyes, what is this world, which doesn’t belong to you, like?"
Upon hearing this, Reiger, who had remained calm and indifferent, finally raised an eyebrow.
He discerned the deeper meaning in Alberon’s words. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
When Alberon mentioned "this world," he wasn’t referring to the British Lostbelt, but to the entire world, including the Human Order Foundation.
Indeed...
"Have you noticed?"
Reiger spoke unexpectedly.
"Sort of." Alberon said with a calm expression: "You are not someone of this world, are you?"
"Neither born from this Fairy Country British Lostbelt, nor from the Human Order Foundation, nor from any place I know."
"A parallel world? Or perhaps another world separate from this one?"
"You must come from somewhere entirely unrelated to our world, right?"
Unexpectedly, Alberon had discerned a part of Reiger’s origins in such a manner.
